He has been my rock these last two weeks and I really want to do something special for him. He loves him some chocolate chip cookies so I'd like to make him the best chocolate chip cookies ever. He is not a fancy man and I usually go with the basic toll house recipe but would love to step it up a notch...that's where you come in.
I need your input. What is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe you've ever made? I might even have a special something for the winning one.
Dreading the taste tests...wink, wink, Patty
Oh my goodness my daughter Lauren makes the best choc chip cookies I've ever had, will get the recipe from her & post it for you, I promise they are divine, rich, buttery with way too much choc but hey live a little eh!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of love Karen x
I like to mix some Heath Bar Bits into my batch.... About 1/2 cup. It gives the cookie a bit of chewyness & a buttery flavor!
ReplyDeleteHave a Peaceful Day!

Or you might want to add white choc
ReplyDeletechips. I love this combined with the real chocolate!
What a sweet collection of bowls-so cheery!
Patty, good luck with the winning chipper recipe for hubs! I missed your previous post and just read it. I didn't know your daughter and grandson moved out and I can so identify with you! When Noah moved out I was so sad. But it is different for me because I have him m thru f and they live so close as well. I am so sorry for your heartache!
ReplyDeletePS. I spy with my little eye...... A Bloomie on your dress form!!
The best chocolate chip cookie I ever tasted had some oatmeal thrown in. I believe it was a Mr. Food recipe, which I cannot find. Maybe it is on the 'net? They were awesome. I am sure he will love your choco chips whichever recipe you use. xo
ReplyDeleteI've had people fighting over these at parties - the cookies has hershey syrup, milk choc chips and semi-sweet choc chunks plus malt (like you would use in milkshakes).
ReplyDeletei'm a great taste tester. can't wait to see what you come up with ... maybe a new recipe. how exciting. chocolate chips cookies are the best. great comfort food. (:
ReplyDeleteI predict you are going to love retirement, now that you are finding your stride. These cookie tips sound delish.
ReplyDeleteI haven't moved past the Toll House recipe so there's no help from here. Have fun with this. We're having a bit of rain this morning and homemade cookies sound tempting.
ReplyDeleteAh, retirement. Such a lovely word, but elusive for me right now. I'm SOOO ready, but I can see at LEAST six more years. ~sigh~. Enjoy yours!!!

I like white macadamia nut cookies or white chocolate and walnuts. I like cookies with lots of stuff in them.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a good wife! Can't wait to see which recipe you decide on. Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteI can't claim credit for the recipe, but I've emailed one to you that was passed on to me years ago. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love C.C cookies!
ReplyDeleteYum!
Don't your bowls look so pretty all piled up like that?
I love the colours!xxx
Hi - try the Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies on my blog www.dinneratjulies.blogspot.com - I often add chopped pecans or macadamia nuts to this recipe for an extra crunch. Hope you find a recipe you like - I personally eat anything chocolate! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know when I retired from the courts when after Quinn was born I felt sort of out of sorts for the first few weeks. I think that is totally normal. We'll talk tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI always used the Toll House recipe that my Mom gave me. But mine always tasted different then the ones she baked. I said one day "I follow the recipe you gave me exactly but they don't taste like your". She chuckled and said she always adds a tablespoon of bacon fat to the batch. Who was have thought! Now mine taste as yummy as my mothers used too.
ReplyDeleteI am of no help with a recipe. I am the type of baker that measures nothing and just throws it together. So a repeat would be impossible. I do love the photos you posted, all the colors are so bright and cheery:)
ReplyDeleteYou know...they may not be the purest of chocolate chip cookies butmy husband loves chocolte chip and these have now become hi favorite...they are Paula Deene's Monster cookies...they have peanut butter and oatmeal in them and lots of chocolate...chips and M & M's...so, chewy and wonderful! Have a great day!!
ReplyDeletePatty,
ReplyDeleteNestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe using Blue Bonnet stick margarine instead of butter. They're lighter in texture and not as rich!!!
When "Mr. Ed" was active duty, our family made 100's of cookies @ Christmas and took to the soldiers in the barracks that couldn't get home for Christmas. Imagine my joy when 5 years later, antoher duty assignment half way around the world, when a soldier introduced me to his bride as "The Cookie Lady"!!!
Fondly,
Pat
